Failings of the international court Gavin Strang (letter, October 9) admits that the International Criminal Court would be unable to act against those who committed the atrocities in New York and Washington because it will not have retrospective jurisdiction. The principle of "command responsibility" could also help to generate a belief amongst individuals whose behaviour might otherwise be circumscribed by the existence of the court, that in the event of losing a war they would be found guilty of something anyway, thus depriving the court of much of its deterrent power. As for Gavin Strang's suggestion that completion of the ratification process would "leave no hiding place for future war criminals", the court's jurisdiction would not extend beyond the citizens of signatory states. www.charlestannock.com /091001a.asp   (242 words)

New Zealand in Zimbabwe - Sep 1997   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03) Gavin Rennie, on his debut, took strike and scored a single off his sixth ball; he has rarely looked in trouble and, from what we have seen so far, certainly looks like fulfilling the role of Grant Flower's long-lost opening partner. Then Bryan Strang, trying a cross-batted slog, was adfudged leg-before to Chris Cairns, his fifth wicket of the innings, and Zimbabwe failed to reach the 300-run landmark which would presumably have been the least they had hoped for. Gavin Rennie was also close to a maiden Test fifty at the close, and he too displayed a good range of strokes. www.cricinfo.com /link_to_database/ARCHIVE/1997-98/NZ_IN_ZIM/NZ_ZIM_T1_18-22SEP1997_MR.html   (6818 words)

House of Commons - Environment, Transport and Regional Affairs - Minutes of Evidence That seems a little bit strange and given the developments that even lay people could have noticed in the South East and the growth figures that were quite plainly seen, does it not seem a bit surprising that NATS should have been so adrift in their estimates? Obviously the long term projected figure which we have given you in our document is about three per cent, which is probably a bit on the low side, it is a lower estimate on the three figures on the graphs. I think you make the judgment rightly that the record has been appalling over recent years and it has to be a matter of concern that there were these delays and it seemed as if they were not getting their act properly together. www.parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk /pa/cm199798/cmselect/cmenvtra/360-e/36010.htm   (3867 words)
